Just fancy a change, so suggest away, probably avoiding the ones contained in the list below.

Chord : Chameleon silver plus, Chorus 1, Anthem 1

NVA : Sound Cords, SSP's

Silver High Breed : Most of the range, if not all.

Black Rhodium : Oratorio, and at £600 were my most expensive ic's!

Van. Den Hul : can't remember, but they seemed bland n dull......:)

Nordost : Blue Heaven, Red Dawn.

QED : Qnect 1. ( I think!)

TCI : Cobra. " "

Atratus something or others......:)


There were also others along the way, including Atlas and Audioquest but I can't remember which models.

So, fire away, and re the budget....as cheap as you like as my accountant is wanting to help make me poor!
ie, he wants paying!

Give some Mark Grants a go. :)

Alternatively try to find an offer on some used LFD interconnects, like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/lfd-spirolink-millenium-0-7-interconnect-/111273040138

Go for Pauls'/RFC Pluto or better.
I,be been cable swapping for the last 18months. Paul's' Plutos , purchased about 3months ago
Are the best I've experienced within the price range. Try em; you can always send em back if they don't suit.

On second thoughts, I don't think accountants would appreciate the sentiment :rolleyes:

Just plugged these cables back into my system and decided to keep them anyway they are that good

And he's onto the importance of using OCC silver, hmm, tempted.

Ive not had any experience of the other cables, Yannis is a top bloke to work with and his cables power my reference system! They sit in a £30k+ system and do not disappoint.

Have you considered rolling your own? Look at http://www.laventure.net/tourist/cables.htm

I have seen this site before and have made most of these cables in various forms, I still prefer the ones Yannis produced.

I think it's wise to pay for professional termination of interconnects especially given how low the prices are. An exception for me is power cables due to the ease of making them.

That could be for a number or reasons: better quality silver, more silver, multicore, better soldering etc. I intend using the same amount of strands and gauge as Valhalla. Incidentally I think phono cables are virtually a different species and have ordered a custom size from Yannis.

Yannis. I doubt you'll regret it.

+1. I've yet to discover anyone who is so knowledgeable on the subject, and crucially, dedicated to the art of producing some of the finest cables known to man. Oh, and a thoroughly nice chap, too!

With Yannis you get the best of ALL worlds: technical expertise, efficiency and amiability. Mark Grant also, although his business model is somewhat different.
